Course Title

Collaborative Conservation: Partnerships in Practice

Description

This advanced-level course builds on the foundational skills taught in the Partnership and Community Collaboration Academy: Managing by Network course. This course is designed for those actively involved in community-based partnerships who want to develop their skills more fully and move their partnerships forward. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with partners who are currently involved in successful community-based conservation partnership initiatives. Through case studies and discussions, conservation leaders will share lessons learned as well as the strategies, tools, and techniques that have made their partnerships successful. Participants will cultivate their professional competencies for partnership and community collaboration by learning from others’ experiences of real-world implementation and then transferring and applying that knowledge to their partnerships. After the course, one webinar will be held where participants will report how they applied the training and the progress they made as a result.

Objectives:Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:• Demonstrate the competencies needed for developing successful collaborative partnerships.• Identify the skills and expertise found in successful partnerships and transfer that knowledge to their partnerships. • Apply knowledge gained in working across program lines to develop creative, visionary conservation actions that lead to “on-the-ground” partnership accomplishments.• Employ sound techniques to leverage conservation resources effectively, including people and materials.
